Nets to Weigh Keeping Lopez, Signing Blatche

The Nets’ strength, if they have one, has been their post players. In addition to starters Mason Plumlee and Kevin Garnett, the Nets still have Brook Lopez, who has been the subject of constant trade rumors this season as he’s averaged 15.3 points and 6.2 rebounds a game.

But with Garnett down to 21 minutes a game (tied for the fewest among all NBA starters) and Mirza Teletovic (blood clots in lungs) out for the season, the Nets are considering all of their options.
